ROLL-PAPER HOLDER AND CUTTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 492,856, dated March '7, 1893.

Application filed October 31, 1892- Serial No 450,517- (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD B. WESTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Roll-Paper Holders and Cutters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates more particularly to what is known as knock-down roll paper holders, in which the parts are so arranged that they can be readily separated so as to make a small and compact parcel for ship'- ping and storing, and arranged to be readily and easily set up for use, and my improvements consist in a certain novel construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more particularly pointed out and claimed.

In the drawingsz-Figure 1 is a perspective View of the holder and cutter. Fig. 2, is a sectional side elevation of the upper portion of one side of the frame work. Fig. 3, is a similar sectional side elevation of the lower portion of the frame work.

A, A, are the standards which support the roll of paper. At each end of these standards short arms a, a, are formed at right angles to the body of the standards. These arms are slotted at b, b, to allow for the connection of the retaining bolts.

B, B, are the feet upon which the standards rest, the upper portion being recessed at c, to allow the lower arms of the standards to be flush with the top of the parts B, B. On the under surface of these feet B, B, segmental grooves 01, d, are out, while the upper surface of the upper arms a, a, are also formed with these segmental grooves.

O, O, are half-oval braces which extend across, respectively, between the feet B, B,

engaging within the segmental grooves therein and the upper arms a, a, of the standards. 6, e, are the bolts which hold together the feet B, the lower brace O and the standard A, while f, f, are the bolts which connect the upper brace O with the upper portion of the standards. The upper half of the standards A, A, are provided with slots g, g, and the cutting knife D slides up and down between these slots, guided by the lugs h, h, thereon, the roll of paper E being jonrnaled in the slots Z in the standard, and the knife D resting with its cutting edge upon the paper and following the roll down as it decreases in size.

With my improvements, it will be seen that all the parts readily fit within each other, and that four bolts are all that are necessary to hold all the parts together. The braces C, O, are of half-oval iron and fit closely within the segmental recesses provided for that p11 1'- pose in the feet and upper ends of the stand-- ards. When the bolts e, e, and f, f, are re moved, all the parts can at once be separated" EDWARD B. WESTON.
